Despite the original post being removed, screenshots of the offensive message quickly circulated across social media, fueling further controversy.
In the initial post, the man shared that he had secured tickets to TXT’s concert in Taipei for his daughter. However, his accompanying commentary, which many found disrespectful, led to intense backlash.
“For my daughter~ I managed to grab two tickets for TXT’s concert. I have no idea who these five sissies are, but my daughter likes them so~ buy, buy, buy.”

However, this was not the end of the controversy. Shortly after, the man made another post that many interpreted as mocking the situation rather than offering a genuine apology.
